WordPress wp_options table manage to get corrupted. I tried MySQL‘s repair but the table was still not well so I had to copy the table from another installation and reset everything.

For one scary moment nothing was displayed on the site but then I realised that was because it was trying to load a theme that didn’t exist.

Everything is happy again now :) ]]>

Free advertising

TextLinkAds are offering $100 of free text link ads. The catch? You have to buy $125 of advertising. The catch isn’t as big as you’d think. I assumed it meant you spend $125 and get another $100 free, but it doesn’t. You order $125 worth of advertising and only pay for $25. You still need to be careful though. You’re actually ordering a subscription and if you don’t cancel within a month you will be charged again.

TextLinkAds sell hard coded text links (oddly enough) on publishers websites. Hard coded means detectable by search engines. And you can get them at one fifth the “normal” price.

To qualify just enter “New client” as the coupon code.

I just got 200 spammy comments in 12 hours. Luckily most of them are coming from the same IP address so they were easy to deal with.
